I Application filed July '24, 1907. Seria1 No. 385,319..

Be it known that I, Janus SINISI, a subject of the King of Italy, residing at New York,,in the county ofNew York and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Type-Writing Machine, of which the following is a specification.

- This. invention relates more particularly to means for producing stencil cards employed in addressing machines, though there are features not necessarily limited to such use.

The primary object of the present invention is to provide novel means of a simple nature which may be rapidly and conveniently operated,'and which will properly present the cards to and hold them in posi tion with respect to the printing point of the printing or perforating mechanism.

A further object is to provide a machine, wherein the keys and operating means are on the order of the standard typewriting machine, so that they can be operated by any one having a knowledge of such machines.

A further object is to provide mechanism for feedingcards to the machine, the card holding means coacting. with the feeding means so that cards can be successively positioned with respect to the printing point with speed and accuracy.

The preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a front elevation of the machine. Fig. 2 is a top-plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the carriage and associated parts. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view through said carriage; Fig. 5 is a cross sectional View. Fig. (3 is a 1 detail cross sectional View through the platen and card guides or work holder." Fig. 7 is a bottom plan view of the card guides or work holder. Fig. 8 is a detail sectional view through the feeding means and lower portion of the magazine. Fig. 9 is a top plan view of the feeding plunger. Fig. 10 is a cross sectional view through the feeding means and lower portion of the magazine.- Fig. 11 is a detail cross sectional view through the platen and card guides on the line 11-1l of Fig. 1.

Fig. 12 is a detail vertical sectional view through the receiving Fig. 1,3.is a detail perspective view of'one of the type heads. Fig. 14 is a detail perspective View of one of the stencil cards.

Similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts in. all the figures of the drawings.

In the embodiment illustrated, a supporting frame 15 is employed that corresponds supporting frame 15, and a reciprocatory carriage 22 operates on said tracks, the carriage being capable of a swinging movement with the rear track as an axis. A spring drum 23 has a belt connection 21 with the carriage for moving it in one direction, and. escapeinent mechanism 25 operated by the keys of the key-board in the usual manner, controls the movement of the carriage under the action of the spring drump A suitable outstanding grip 26 secured to the front portion of the carriage, constitutes convenlent means whereby said carriage can be moved against the action of the spring drum. The

escapemcnt mechanism 25 cooperates with a rack 27 pivotally mounted on the carriage and capable ofbemg elevated out of engagement with the escapement mechanism by a finger piece 28.

The carriage 22 is proiided at its ends with transverse tracks 29, and a carrier is slidably mounted on these tracks, and is thus capable of movement transversely of the path of movement of said carriage. The

carrier consists of shoes 30 that slide upon the tracks 29, and spaced guide bars 31 so cured to said shoes, and connected at their ends by cross pieces 32. These guide bars are provided on their opposing edges with card holding flanges 33 forming card-rc- 'ceiving grooves 3-1 between them. Coiled springs located at the ends of the carriage, have their rear ends secured to cars 36 fastened to said carriage, while their front ends are attached to cars 37 secured to the carrier. These springs thereforenrge the carrier toward the rear side of the carriage, as will be evident. The rearward '1 movement, however, is limited by adjustable particularly by reference-to Figs. 3

'Dogs 44, pivoted in sockets in the yoke,

are movable into and out of coaction with the teeth of the racks 39. Springs 46, secured to the rod 42 and engaged with the yoke 41, serve to hold said .yoke elevated,- and thus normally maintain the dogs 44 out of coaction with the racks. Stop pins 47 are preferably carried by the rear sides of the I dogs 44, and engage against the under side of'the yoke 41, said pins serving to maintain .the dogs at an inclination, as willbe evident and 5. In order to maintain the carrier in the different positions to which it is moved by the dogs 44, holding dogs 43 are pivoted, as

shown at 49 to the front of the carriage, and have downturned teeth 50 that interlock with the teeth of the racks 39. These dogs are normally held in engagement with said teeth by springs 51 bearing upon a cross rod 52 that connects the dogs. A key lever 53, fulcrumed between its ends, as shown at 54 upon -the front side of the carriage, has its rear end engaged, as shown at 55 with the rod 52. -Consequently uponthe depression of the front end of the key lever, the rod 52 and the dogs 48 will be elevated, thus disengaging their teeth 50 from the racks and releasing the carrier.

A platen is mounted on the intermediate portions of the guide bars 31, and bridges the space between them. This platen consists of a sheet of cushioning material 56, preferably of leather, and a metallic backing plate 57. Studs 58, having their lower ends fastened in the guide bars 31, pass through openings in j the cushion 56 and backing plate 57, and project above the latter. I threaded upon the upper ends of the studs, g serve to hold the cushion and backing plate in position.

Holding nuts 59,

A'protective strip 60 of canvas or other suitable material is located against the under side of the cushion 56 between the guide bars 31, and as shown moreparticularly in Figs. 4 and 6, the ends of this strip pass upwardly through cut-away portions 61 in the ends of the platen and are engaged over upstanding pins 62 projecting from the upper face of the backing plate 57. A central post 63, rising from the backing plate,

has a reduced threaded upper end portion 61-, l and a yoke 65 detachably located on said end portion, is provided with heads 66 at its ends, said heads having sockets 67 to receive the pins 62, as illustrated in Fig. .6. A nut 68, threaded upon the upper end portion 64 of the post 63. normally holds the yoke 65 in position. It will be observed, particularly by reference to .Figs. 4 and 7 that the lowermost guide flanges 33 are cutaway beneath the platen above described, and that bowed leaf springs 69, secured between their ends, as shown at 70, substantially close the grooves, the end portions being pressed upwardly. Furthermore the upper flange of one of the guide bars is cut-away as shown at T1 in Fig. 8, and a spring 72, secured to the adjacent cross bar 32, has its free end passing through the cut-away portion 71 into the groove 34.

A bracket 73, secured to one end of the frame, as shown at 74, supports a work or card holding magazine 75, said magazine having a delivery mouth 76 at its bottom and in one of its'sidc walls at a height corresponding to the height of the card-receiving grooves 34, as illustrated in Fig. 8. The magazine is of a suflicient size to receive a stack of the stencil cards, one of said cards being illustrated in detail in Fig; 14. It will he observed that each card consists of a frame 7.7, to one side of which is pasted a sheet of parchment paper 78, and thus a flange or shoulder 79 is formed upon one side of said card. These cards are placed in the magazine with the said flanges on the under I sides, and a reciprocatory plunger 80 operating in guideways 81 at the bottom-of the E magazine. is provided with a spring supported head 82 arranged to engage against the rear shoulder to force the cards successively from the magazine. Card guides 83 are located in line with the delivery mouth 76 of the magazine, and the adjacent ends of the card receiving grooves 34 are preferably enlarged, as shown at 84. A rotatable spring drum 85, mounted in a bracket 86 that depends from the supporting bracl-:et 73, has a tape connection 87, with the under side of the plunger, and normally serves to hold said plunger in retracted position. l'ts feeding movement is secured by means of an outj standing trigger or finger piece 88 secured thereto and said feeding movement is limited l by a stop screw 89 threaded through an upstanding lug 90 on the rear end of the plunger and arranged to abut against the I upper end of the bracket 86. A look nut 91 l serves to prevent accidental movement of the i stop screw. is fastened upon the opposite side of the supporting frame 15, but upon the lower cross bar thereof, and adjustably mountcdon the outstanding arm 93 of'said bracket, is a receiving magazine 94, the top of which is open Another supporting bracket 92 ll i and disposed adjacent to the other ends of the guide bars-31. This magazine is preferably provided with said door has a latch it closed."

The. operation of the machine is'substantially as follows. When the carrier is in its rearmost position on the carriage and the carriage is'located adjacent to the magazine, if the plunger is moved from right to left, the head 82 thereofengaging one. of the cards,

a hinged door 95, and 96 for normally holding willforce it through the guide-ways 83 into the card-receiving grooves 34 of the guide bars 31. A second reciprocation will move .a second card thereinto, and said second card will push the first card to a position directly beneath the fiat platen, as shown in Fig. 7. This card is therefore in proper position to be operated upon, and if for instance, it is to hold an address, the name isprinted on the first line by operating the keys after the manner of an ordinary typewriter. The keyor tinge-apiece 43 is then depressed, whereu on the carrier is moved forward a sufiicient istance to space a. line, and the operation is repeated until the full address is printed. Theoperator thereupon depresses the key lever 53, which as already explained disengages the dogs 48 from the rack. Inasmuch as the forward action of the carrier had been against the tension of the springs 35, it will be evident that when the said dogs are disengaged, the springs 35 will react and return the carrier to its rearmost position. The carriage is then moved from left to right until the inlet ends of the card-receiving grooves are in coacting relation to the delivery mouth of the magazine, whereupon anothercard is fed thereinto. The feeding movements will cause the perforated cards to pass from theopposite end of the carrier, whereupon they will fall into the receiving magazine. It will thus be evident that simple means of a novel nature is provided for perforating cards and f the like without bending or in any manner mutilating them. Moreover any one skilled in the use of a standard typewriting machine can prepare the cards wlth speed and accuracy. Inasmuehas the perforating types are delicate and expensive parts of the machine, the particular construction and arrangement of the elements, particularly the platen are important, inasmuch as said types will not contact with any hard surface, thus assuring their preservation and long life. Moreover,

the platen is such that the parts liable to injury from the sharp points of the type heads can be removed and replaced by new ones,

and these parts being of cheap material, the

cost thereof is insignificant.

From the foregoing, it is thought that the construction, operation, and many advantages of the herein described inventionwill be apparent to those skilled in the art, without further description, and it will be understood that various changes in the size, shape, proportion, and minor details of construm tion, may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
